Apple TV 2G won't update software

My Apple TV is telling me the "software is up to date". But it's not?! It's still on 4.1 and I want 4.2.1. Why won't it update?

again you mention the remote app, but the remote app has nothing to do with AirPlay.
as i said, you are looking for the airplay icon in the correct places? (ie NOT in the remote app).

    It sounds like you may have multiple problems, but none of them are likely to be caused by malware.
    First, the internet-related issues may be related to adware or a network compromise. I tend to lean more towards the latter, based on your description of the problem. See:
    http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/baddns.php
    http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/hackedrouter.php
    If investigation shows that this is not a network-specific issue, then it's probably adware. See my Adware Removal Guide for help finding and removing it. Note that you mention AdBlock as if it should have prevented this, but it's important to understand that ad blockers do not protect you against adware in any way. Neither would any kind of anti-virus software, which often doesn't detect adware.
    As for the other issues, it sounds like you've got some serious corruption. I would be inclined to say it sounds like a failing drive, except it sounds like you just got it replaced. How did you get all your files back after the new drive was installed?

  • My MacBook Pro that is running on 10.6.8 won't update software so that iTunes connects to my iphone 6. Problem is that when I go to update, it restarts the computer but never updates any of the software.

    My MacBook Pro that is running on Mac OS X 10.6.8 won't update software that I need in order to download the newest iTunes software to connect to my iPhone 6. Problem is that when I go to update, it restarts the computer but never updates any of the software.

    In addition to Stedman's spot-on reply --
    When you buy an upgrade disk, all updates in that OS can be found on Software Update.
    For instance, I bought Snow Leopard at 10.6.
    All other updates have been free and downloadable.  So I'm not a 10.6.7.
    10.4 (Tiger) went to 10.4.11.
    10.5 (Leopard) went to 1.5.8
    10.6(Snow Leopard) is currently at 10.6.7.
    Now, when Lion come out (the next major upgrade of OSX), I will have to pay to go to 10.7.
    After that, updates are free til 10.8 comes out.

  • IPod won't update software

    I have downloaded the latest software for my shuffle and for some reason it won't update. The only I get is Restore. This is the same for the 1.1 version. My iPod no longer plays any music. It only flashes orange and green. Any suggestions would be very useful. I just want my shuffle to work.

    If it is flashing green and orange, this is normally not a good sign. A call to Apple iPod Tech Support may be in order... sorry

    P.S. Did you try resetting it?

  • TS3694 My iPad won't update software saying it can 't connect to the Internet which is not true as you can see from me being able to write this. there is no error code. It just says unable to verify, try again later. Any suggestions?

    My iPad won't update iOS 7.0.4 software saying it is unable to verify because it can 't connect to the Internet and to try again later.  It doesn't display an error message number. Obviously I can connect otherwise you wouldn't be reading this. Any suggestions? Many thanks for your help.

    You didn't specify which way you are trying to update - using the Software Update setting on the iPad or by using iTunes. I will assume that you are using iTunes because the kb article that linkd you to here was the one about iTunes error codes.
    Quit iTunes, reset your iPad, restart your computer and try again. Disable your firewall and antivirus software of you are using it.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Apple TV 2 Won't update to 6.0

    My ATV2 won't update to the 6.0 software.  It is currenly on 5.3.  If I go to manually check for new software in the settings it says the software is up to date.  I've tried resetting, unplugging, and finally restoring to factory defaults (which apparently is also supposed to download the newest software).  I also have an ATV3 in the other room and it updated from 5.3 to 6.0 just fine.  Any ideas?

    I have one remaining Apple TV that I have yet to update. As a result of a large number of threads appearing in a short period of time reporting that the update is no longer available, I tried to update my own and was told it was up to date.
    It’s therefore quite possible the update has been temporarily removed and the best advice I can provide is to sit tight and wait.

  • I purchased original software with another apple id. how can i access the old apple id in order to update software

    I purchased my macbook air and pre-installed software under my work apple id number. i have been unable to update software on this computer with my home apple id. how can i switch to my work id so that i can install upgrades to original software?
    Thanks

    You can only update software using the same Apple ID it was purchased from.
    And just so you are aware, Apple ID accounts cannot be merged >  Frequently asked questions about Apple ID

  • My Apple TV says I have updated software, however it's only 6.2.1.  How can I download the 7.1?

    My Apple TV downloads automatically and when I just checked About, it says I have the 6.2.1 version and I see there is a 7.1 version.  When I click on Update Software, it says I am updated.  What next to get the 7.1 version?  I'm using Yosemite on a new MacBook Air.

    What version of iOS you can install depends on what version of the hardware you have: About Apple TV (2nd and 3rd generation) software updates - Apple Support

  • Software out of date, but won't update, Software out of date, but won't update

    My mac is running 10.4.11. I know it's out of date, but when I try software update, it says my software is up to date.  I'm assuming this is the reason I can't update my iTunes and thus also can not sync my iPhone to my iTunes.
    I saw another question similar and someone responded that you would need to PURCHASE the next update. Is that true? And if so, that's terrible. Please tell me there are downloads available for me so that I can update my operating system and then update my iTunes.

    Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard installation system requirements

    Leopard is no longer available at the Apple Store but may be available by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753).
    If you can't obtain a retail install DVD from Apple, look on eBay or Google the installer part numbers to possibly find at an on-line store. Here's what to look for:
    MB427Z/A  Leopard 10.5.1 install DVD
    MB576Z/A  Leopard 10.5.4 install DVD
    MB021Z/A  Leopard 10.5.6 install DVD (single user)

    The DVD should look like this
    Caution - Leopard does not support classic mode. So, if you currently open OS 9 apps in classic mode, you won't be able to do this if you upgrade to Leopard.

  • Screen stuck on Apple Logo after Trying to Update Software

    My iphone screen is locked on the apple icon after trying twice ( and unsuccessfully) to download the 2.2.1 software update. Plugging the phone into a computer or power source doesn't help.
    Would appreciate any help with how to get this working...

    Used the iPhone Troubleshooting Assistant and decided to "reset" the phone and restore to it's factory settings.

  • My Apple Remote Desktop won't update in the App Store but it won't update. Any suggestions?

    I just updated to Yosemite. Now Apple Remote Desktop shows up in the App Store as an update. However, double clicking yields an alert that it can't be updated through the store. The Alert advises that I have to go to the Apple menu Software Updater. That didn't work either.

    I also have ARD 3 from the disk and just updated to Yosemite. Its up to date at Version 3.7.2 (372A19).
    The "update" the App Store claims is Version 3.7.2 - Released Mar 17, 2014.
    The error message I get is:
    We could not complete your purchase.
    Remote Desktop is already installed on this computer. Choose Software Update from the Apple menu to check for available updates.
    This seems like a bug to me.

  • Apps say they belong to another Apple ID and won't update

    I recently bought a 2nd hand MBP. I made a new user, deleted the old user and used migration assistant to move my stuff from my old MBP. However, despite my having owned pre App Store versions of iWork apps the Mac App store continually tells me there are updates available for Keynote, Numbers and Pages. However, when I try to update them I am informed that they belong to the last owner of my MBP.
    I own the apps, I moved them across from my machine. They were in a folder called "iWork '09" and the other owner's versions were loose in the Applications folder. I deleted the loose versions and left the ones in my "iWork '09" folder but I still have this problem that they seem to be associated with an account that I deleted from the machine. How do I reassign them to my Apple ID or at least stop the App Store app telling me about the updates?
    I realise (or at least I assume) that having bought them pre App Store they will update outside of the App Store. I'm reluctand to delete them as I cannot see any way to download them again outside the App Store.
    Any help gratefully received.
    Cheers,
    Grant

    I completely stuffed up my question here. I have the iWork apps issue resolved. I should have been asking about GarageBand, iPhoto and iMovie as I did on my next attempt at posting a question. Sorry
